Detachable toy

ABSTRACT

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a detachable toy that is configured to detach a portion of a body from the body if a certain condition for detaching the portion from the body is provided, and the body and the detached portion of the body transform from a first form into a second form.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a detachable toy, and more particularly, to a detachable toy that is configured to detach a portion of a body from the body if a given condition is provided to detach the portion of the body from the body, so that the body and the detached portion of the body transform from a first form into a second form.

BACKGROUND ART

Among toys for the play of babies or children, transformable toys provide various playing effects.

A method for transforming a toy's form is carried out by means of manual manipulation or an operation of locking means using a magnetic force of a magnet.

Particularly, the toy using the magnetic force includes external structures, internal structures accommodated in interiors of the external structures, and locking means operating cooperatively with the movement of a magnet disposed movably in an interior thereof.

If the magnet moves by means of the magnetic force, the locking means transforms the toy from a first form into a second form.

A transforming toy using the magnetic force is disclosed in Korean Patent Application Laid-open No. 2008-101924 entitled ‘toy’.

According to the conventional toy, if the magnetic force generated from the magnet is not supplied, the external structures and a plurality of components constituting a spherical first form are kept to a spherical form by means of locking members, with a force applied from deviation means.

On the other hand, if the magnetic force is supplied, the locking states caused by the locking members are released cooperatively with the movement of the magnet, and accordingly, locking between the external structures folded to the spherical form in the locking states caused by the locking members is released, so that the external structures transform from the first form into a second form.

If the magnetic force of the magnet is not supplied, accordingly, it is impossible that the conventional toy transforms from the first form into the second form.

Further, the conventional toy changes only in the form of a body thereof, so that it does not provide any complex play or interest after transformation.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, a detachable toy 100 according to a first embodiment of the present invention is configured to detach a portion of a body from the body if an impact or crash for detaching the portion of the body from the body is generated, so that the body and the detached portion of the body transform into a second form from a first form, and the detachable toy 100 includes a first body 110, a second body 120, an auxiliary body 130, locking parts 140, latch parts 150, and a pressurizing part 160.

The first form of the detachable toy 100 in a locking state is any one selected from a spherical form and a polygonal form having at least three or more surfaces, and desirably, the first form is a generally spherical form.

For the brevity of the description, further, the first form is the spherical form, but it is not necessarily limited thereto.

The first body 110 is a hemispherical member and includes a concaved first body housing 111, a first body coupling protrusion 112 formed along top of the first body housing 111, and a protrusion 113 extended upwardly by a given length from a bottom center of the first body housing 111.

The second body 120 is a hemispherical member disposed on top of the first body 110 in such a manner as to be coupled to the first body 110 to allow the first form in the locking state to become the generally spherical form, and the second body 120 includes a second body base 121, a plurality of flaps 122 whose one side rotatably coupled to the second body base 121 by means of rotary shafts 123 and having a curved portion formed at the inside thereof, and second body springs 124 for applying elastic forces to the rotary shafts 123 if the flaps 122 are released from locking states, so that the flaps 122 rotate around the rotary shafts 123.

Further, the second body 120 includes a weight 125 adapted to allow center of gravity of the second body base 121 to be located on the lower portion thereof if the second body 120 is detached from the first body 110.

The second body base 121 has a curved underside surface and includes coupling grooves 121 a equally spaced apart from each other along the outer periphery thereof in such a manner as to be coupled to the flaps 122 and coupling holes 121 b pierced into the coupling grooves 121 a in such a manner as to insert the rotary shafts 123 thereinto.

Further, the second body base 121 has a character 121 c disposed on top thereof in such a manner as to be exposed to the outside if the second body 120 is separately developed, and the character 121 c has various shapes, such as a human being, object, animal, robot and so on.

The flaps 122 are provided by dividing the second body 120 into four parts around the second body base 121, and each flap 122 includes fastening portions 122 a extended by a given length from one side thereof in such a manner as to be inserted into the corresponding coupling groove 121 a of the second body base 121, through holes 122 b passing through the fastening portions 122 a in such a manner as to insert the corresponding rotary shaft 123 thereinto, and a second body coupling protrusion 122 c formed on the other side end thereof in such a manner as to be fitted to the protrusion 113 of the first body 110 to allow the second body 120 to be supportedly kept in the coupled state with the first body 110.

The auxiliary body 130 is disposed between the first body 110 and the second body 120 to partition the first body 110 and the second body 120 and serves to support the locking parts 140, the latch parts 150 and the pressurizing part 160 thereagainst. The auxiliary body 130 includes a disc-shaped auxiliary body base 131, a cylindrical support 132 extended by a given length from one side periphery of the auxiliary body base 131 and having guide slots 132 a formed in a longitudinal direction thereof in such a manner as to mount the locking parts 140 thereon, and a through hole 133 formed on the center of the auxiliary body base 131 to allow a portion of the pressurizing part 160 to pass therethrough.

The locking parts 140 are disposed on the guide slots 132 a of the auxiliary body 130 and serve to support the pressurizing part 160 to allow a fixed locking state of the pressurizing part 160 at a given position to be maintained or serve to move radially outward from the support 132 to allow the pressurizing part 160 to be released from the locking state thereof according to operations of the latch parts 150. Each locking part 140 includes a locking part body 141, extended portions 142 protruding laterally from both sides of the locking part body 141 in such a manner as to prevent the locking part body 141 from moving radially inward from the support 132, a locking part protrusion 143 protruding from one side of the locking part body 141 in such a manner as to be coupled to the corresponding latch part 150, and a locking part locking protrusion 144 protruding by a given length from the front end of the locking part body 141 in a longitudinal direction toward the inside of the support 132 in a radial direction of the support 132.

The latch parts 150 are disposed on the auxiliary body base 131 of the auxiliary body 130, and if an impact occurs, the latch parts 150 provide displacement through an inertial force to allow the locations of the locking parts 140 to be varied, so that the locking parts 140 move radially outward from the support 132 of the auxiliary body 130 and are thus released from locking states thereof. The latch parts 150 are desirably made of metal materials having a high weight per unit volume so as to provide large moving displacement through the inertial force.

Further, the latch parts 150 have a member for detecting the impact not exposed to the outside of the first body 110, so that the first form is kept to the generally spherical form rollable.

Furthermore, each latch part 150 includes a latch part body 151, a latch part coupling groove 152 formed on one side of the latch part body 151 and having a through hole 152 a coupled to the corresponding locking part protrusion 143, and an impact sensing spring 153 disposed between the latch part body 151 and the auxiliary body base 131 to provide an elastic force so that the latch part body 151 is kept to a given position.

The pressurizing part 160 is disposed inside the first body 110 in such a manner as to be movable in upward and downward directions and serves to lock the locking parts 140 thereonto to allow a locking state fixed to the given position to be maintained or released from the locking state thereof, so that if it is released from the locking state, it moves upwardly to provide a pressurizing force to allow the second body 120 to be detached from the first body 110. The pressurizing part 160 includes a pressurizing part body 161 hollow in an interior thereof and open on the bottom thereof, a pressurizing part protrusion 162 protruding by a given length from top of the pressurizing part body 161, a flange 163 formed along the bottom periphery of the pressurizing part body 161, and a pressurizing part spring 164 fixedly coupled to the protrusion 113 of the first body 110 to provide an elastic force so that the pressurizing part 160 moves upwardly.

If the pressurizing part 160 is released, the pressurizing part protrusion 162 passes through the through hole 133 of the auxiliary body 130 and thus pressurizes or hits the character 121 c of the second body 120.

According to the first embodiment of the present invention, on the other hand, the pressurizing part 160 is disposed inside the first body 110, but it is not limited thereto. That is, the pressurizing part protrusion 162 may be disposed on the second body 120, and the pressurizing part protrusion 162 disposed on the second body 120 may pressurize the pressurizing part body 161 and the pressurizing part spring 164 disposed on the first body 110. Accordingly, the part for providing the pressurizing force to detach the second body 120 from the first body 110 may be disposed on any one of the first body 110 and the second body 120.

Next, an explanation on operating processes of the detachable toy 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be given.

The detachable toy 100 in the first form where the first body 110 and the second body 120 are coupled to each other crashes into an arbitrary object or floor by a user.

If such crash or impact is applied to the detachable toy 100, it is also applied to the latch parts 150 kept to the given position, and at this time, displacement in position of the latch parts 150 occurs by means of an inertial force.

According to the displacement in position of the latch parts 150, the locking part protrusions 142 of the locking parts 140 coupled to the latch parts 150 move radially outward from the support 132 to allow the locking part locking protrusions 144 to be released from the flange 163 of the pressurizing part 160.

If the pressurizing part 160 is released, the pressurizing part body 161 moves upwardly by means of the elastic force of the pressurizing part spring 164, and the pressurizing part protrusion 162 pressurizes the character 121 c of the second body 120, so that the fastened state between the first body coupling protrusion 112 and the second body coupling protrusions 122 c is released to allow the second body 120 to be detached from the first body 110. Accordingly, the detachable toy 100 transforms from the first form into the second form.

If the second body 120 is detached from the first body 110, further, the flaps 122 are developedly open from the second body base 121 by means of the elastic forces of the second body springs 124, so that the second body 120 transforms from the hemispherical first form into a second form open around the character 121 c.

If the second body 120 is detached from the first body 110 and is thus launched, furthermore, the center of gravity of the second body 120 moves to the underside of the second body base 121 by means of the weight 125 and thus turns over. In this state, the flaps 122 are open.

That is, as shown in FIGS. 6a to 6 c, if an impact occurs on the detachable toy 100 kept to the first form as shown in FIG. 6 a, the first body 110 and the second body 120 are separated from each other, as shown in FIG. 6 b, so that first transformation for the detachable toy 100 is carried out. After that, as shown in FIG. 6 c, the second body 120 transforms from the hemispherical first form into the second form open around the character 121 c, so that second transformation for the second body 120 is carried out.

Second Embodiment

FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing a detachable toy according to a second embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 8 is a perspective view showing an operating state of the detachable toy of FIG. 7 according to the second embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 9 is a sectional view showing a structure of the detachable toy of FIG. 7 according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

First, the repeated explanation on the same parts as in the first embodiment of the present invention will be avoided, and the same reference numerals will be used to describe the same components.

As shown in FIGS. 7 to 9, a detachable toy 100 a according to a second embodiment of the present invention is configured to detach a portion of a body from the body if displacement caused by a magnetic force is generated to detach the portion of the body from the body, so that the body and the detached portion of the body transform into a second form from a first form, and the detachable toy 100 a includes a first body 110 a, a second body 120, an auxiliary body 130, locking parts 140 a, a latch part 150 a, a pressurizing part 160 a, and an item 200.

The first body 110 a is a hemispherical member and includes a concaved first body housing 111 a, a first body coupling protrusion 112 a formed along top of the first body housing 111 a, and a first body through hole 113 a formed on a bottom center of the first body housing 111 a.

The locking parts 140 a are disposed under the auxiliary body 130 and serve to support the pressurizing part 160 a to allow a fixed locking state of the pressurizing part 160 a at a given position to be maintained or serve to rotate upwardly to allow the pressurizing part 160 a to be released from the locking state thereof according to an operation of the latch part 150 a. Each locking part 140 a includes a locking part body 141 a locked onto the pressurizing part 160 a to allow the fixed locking state of the pressurizing part 160 a at the given position to be maintained and a rotary shaft 142 a for supporting the locking part body 141 a to allow the locking part body 141 a to rotate.

The latch part 150 a is disposed inside the first body 110 a and moves upwardly and downwardly through the displacement caused by the magnetic force generated in response to the item 200 to allow the locking parts 140 a to be varied in position. The latch part 150 a includes a latch part body 151 a, a magnet 152 a disposed on one side end of the latch part body 151 a to form the magnetic force, a link member 153 a disposed on the other side of the latch part body 151 a in such a manner as to be connected to the locking parts 140 a by means of rotary shafts 153 a′, and a latch part spring 154 a for providing an elastic force to allow the latch part body 151 a to be kept to a given position.

That is, the latch part 150 a allows the locking parts 140 a to be maintained to the fixed locking states to the given position by means of the elastic force of the latch part spring 154 a and generates a repulsive force from the magnetic force together with the item 200, so that if the latch part 150 a moves downwardly in the drawing, the locking parts 140 a rotate through the locking part rotary shafts 142 a and are released from the locking states thereof.

The pressurizing part 160 a is disposed movably in upward and downward directions between the auxiliary body 130 and the latch part 150 a and serves to lock the locking parts 140 thereonto to allow the locking state fixed to the underside of the auxiliary body 130 to be maintained or released from the locking state onto the locking parts 140 a, so that if it is released from the locking state, it moves upwardly in the drawing to provide a pressurizing force to allow the second body 120 to be detached from the first body 110. The pressurizing part 160 a includes a pressurizing part body 161 a having a protruding portion, a flange 162 a formed along the bottom periphery of the pressurizing part body 161 a, and a pressurizing part spring 163 a for providing an elastic force to allow the pressurizing part body 161 a to move upwardly.

In the state where the pressurizing part body 161 a moves downwardly by means of a character 121 c of the second body 120, that is, the pressurizing part 160 a is lockedly fixed to the locking parts 140 a, and if the locking state between the pressurizing part 160 a and the locking parts 140 a is released according to the displacement in position of the latch part 150 a, the pressurizing part body 161 a moves upwardly by means of the elastic force of the pressurizing part spring 163 a and passes through the through hole 133 of the auxiliary body 130 to pressurize or hit the character 121 c of the second body 120.

Further, a protrusion (not shown) may be not formed on the first body 110 a, but formed on the second body 120, so as to pressurize top of the pressurizing part body 161 a.

On the other hand, the elastic force of the latch part spring 154 a has a larger value than that of the pressurizing part spring 163 a so as to prevent the locking states of the locking parts 140 a from being released by the elastic force of the pressurizing part spring 163 a.

The item 200 is a plate-shaped member having any one selected from circular, oval, and polygonal outer shapes, and the item 200 includes a card-shaped item housing 210 made of paper, a plastic synthetic resin, and so on and at least one selected from a magnetic material 220 and a magnet disposed in an interior of the item housing 210 to form the magnetic field together with the magnet 152 a of the latch part 150 a.

According to the second embodiment of the present invention, the item 200 has a shape of a card, but it is not limited thereto. That is, the item 200 may be freely changed to a play plate having a given size.

Further, the item housing 210 has a given character, numbers, text, figure, and pattern printed on the external surfaces thereof, and otherwise, the external surfaces of the item housing 210 may be formed by means of depressed engraving or embossed carving.

Next, an explanation on operating processes of the detachable toy 100 a according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be given.

The detachable toy 100 a in the first form where the first body 110 a and the second body 120 are coupled to each other moves to top of the item 200 by a user.

If a magnetic force is generated by the magnetic field between the detachable toy 100 a and the item 200, displacement in position of the latch part 150 a occurs by means of the magnetic force.

According to the displacement in position of the latch part 150 a, the locking parts 140 coupled to the latch part 150 a rotate and are thus released from the flange 162 a of the pressurizing part 160 a.

If the pressurizing part 160 a is released, the pressurizing part body 161 a moves upwardly by means of the elastic force of the pressurizing part spring 163 a, and the pressurizing part protrusion 162 a pressurizes the character 121 c of the second body 120, so that the fastened state between the first body coupling protrusion 112 a and the second body coupling protrusions 122 c is released to allow the second body 120 to be detached from the first body 110 a. Accordingly, the detachable toy 100 a transforms from the first form into the second form.

If the second body 120 is detached from the first body 110 a, further, the flaps 122 are developedly open from the second body base 121 by means of the elastic forces of the second body springs 124, so that the second body 120 transforms from the hemispherical first form into a second form open around the character 121 c.

If the second body 120 is detached from the first body 110 a and is thus launched, furthermore, the center of gravity of the second body 120 moves to the underside of the second body base 121 by means of the weight 125 and thus turns over. In this state, the flaps 122 are open.

The latch parts 150 b are disposed in the lower portion of the first body 110 b, and if an impact occurs, they vary the position of the locking part 140 b through displacement caused by an inertial force, so that the locking part 140 b moves radially outward from the first body 110 b and is thus released from the locking state thereof. The latch parts 150 b are desirably made of metal materials having a high weight per unit volume so as to provide large moving displacement through the inertial force.

Further, the latch parts 150 b have the members for detecting the impact not exposed to the outside of the first body 110 b, so that the first form is kept to the generally spherical form rollable.

Furthermore, each latch part 150 b includes a latch part body 151 b, a latch part locking protrusion 152 b formed on one side of the latch part body 151 b in such a manner as to be locked onto the flange 142 b of the locking part 140 b to allow the locking part 140 b to be kept to the fixed locking state at the given position, and an impact sensing spring 153 b disposed between the latch part body 151 b and the first body 110 b to provide an elastic force so that the latch part body 151 b is kept to a given position.

The pressurizing part 160 b is extended by a given length from top of the locking part 140 b and serves to pressurize and launch the auxiliary toy 300 seated on the seating groove 132 b toward the outward direction by means of the elastic force of the first body spring 114 b, in the process where the locking part 140 b moves upwardly.

According to the third embodiment of the present invention, on the other hand, the pressurizing part 160 b is extended from top of the locking part 140 b, but it is not limited thereto. That is, the pressurizing part 160 b may be disposed on the second body 120 to pressurize the locking part 140 b.

Further, pressurizing means having a separate pressurizing force may be disposed on the second body 120 b, so that in case where the second body 120 b is detached from the first body 110 b, the pressurizing means provides the pressurizing force.

The auxiliary toy 300 is disposed between the first body 110 b and the second body 120 b in such a manner as to be launched from the first body 110 b if the second body 120 b rotates to open. If the launched auxiliary toy 300 crashes into floor or an arbitrary object, it transforms into a second form from a first form, and desirably, it has the same configuration as the detachable toy according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

Next, an explanation on operating processes of the detachable toy 100 b according to the third embodiment of the present invention will be given.

The detachable toy 100 b in the first form where the first body 110 b and the second body 120 b are coupled to each other crashes into an arbitrary object or floor by a user.

If such crash or impact is applied to the detachable toy 100 b, an inertial force caused by the crash or impact is generated from the latch parts 150 b kept to the given position, and at this time, the generated inertial force causes displacement in position of the latch parts 150 b.

According to the displacement in position of the latch parts 150 b, the locking part 140 b coupled to the latch parts 150 b and thus kept to the locking state is released from the locking state, and if the locking part 140 b moves upwardly by means of the first body spring 114 b, the coupling state between the locking part locking protrusion 143 b and the hooks 123 b of the second body 120 b is released.

If the second body 120 b is released, the flaps 121 b are open around the rotary shafts 122 b of the second body 120 b by means of the elastic forces of the springs, so that the detachable toy 100 b transforms from the first form into a second form.

On the other hand, if the locking part 140 b is released to move upwardly by means of the elastic force of the first body spring 114 b, the pressurizing part 160 b pressurizes or hits the auxiliary toy 300 in the upward direction of the first body 110 b open through the rotation of the second body 120 b and launches the auxiliary toy 300 therefrom.

If the auxiliary toy 300 is separated from the first body 110 b, it crashes into the arbitrary object or floor, and through the impact caused by the crash, it transforms into a second form from the first form through the same developing operation as the detachable toy according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

Fourth Embodiment

FIG. 13 is a perspective view showing a detachable toy according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 14 is a sectional view showing a structure of the detachable toy of FIG. 13 according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention.

First, the repeated explanation on the same parts as in the third embodiment of the present invention will be avoided, and the same reference numerals will be used to describe the same components.

As shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, a detachable toy 100 c according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention is configured to rotate a portion of a body from the body if displacement caused by a magnetic force is generated to detach the portion of the body from the body, so that the body and the rotating portion of the body transform into a second form from a first form, and the detachable toy 100 c includes a first body 110 c, a second body 120 b, an auxiliary body 130 c, a locking part 140 c, a latch part 150 c, a pressurizing part 160 c, an item 200, and an auxiliary toy 300.

The first body 110 c is a hemispherical member and includes a concaved first body housing 111 c, a support disposed on top of the first body housing 111 c to allow flaps 121 b of the second body 120 b to be rotatably supported thereagainst, first body through holes 112 c formed on top of the first body housing 111 c, and a first body through hole 113 c formed on a bottom center of the first body housing 111 c.

The auxiliary body 130 c is disposed between the first body 110 c and the second body 120 b to partition the first body 110 c and the second body 120 b and serves to fixedly seat the auxiliary toy 300 thereonto. The auxiliary body 130 c includes a disc-shaped auxiliary body base 131 c, a seating groove 132 c formed on the center of the auxiliary body base 131 c to seat the auxiliary toy 300 thereonto, a through hole 133 c formed on the center of the seating groove 132 c to allow the pressurizing part 160 c to pass therethrough, and a pressurizing part installation groove 134 c formed on the bottom of the seating groove 132 c to dispose the pressurizing part 160 c thereinto.

The locking part 140 c serves to allow the flaps 121 b of the second body 120 b to be kept to fixed locking states at a given position or serves to move to the upward direction of the first body 110 c to release the locking states of the flaps 121 b of the second body 120 b according to an operation of the latch part 150 c. The locking part 140 c includes a locking part body 141 c, a link member 142 c disposed on one side of the locking part body 141 c and having locking protrusions 142 c′ locked onto the hooks 123 b of the second body 120 b, and a locking part spring 143 c for providing an elastic force to allow the locking part body 141 c to be kept to a given position.

The latch part 150 c is disposed on the other side end of the locking part body 141 c and serves to move the locking part body 141 c in upward and downward direction through displacement caused by a magnetic force, so that the position of the locking part 140 c is varied. Desirably, the latch part 150 c is formed of a magnet.

The pressurizing part 160 c is disposed in the pressurizing part installation groove 134 c of the auxiliary body 130 c, and if the flaps 121 b of the second body 120 b are released to rotate around rotary shafts 122 b and to thus open, the pressurizing part 160 c serves to launch the auxiliary toy 300. The pressurizing part 160 c includes a pressurizing part body 161 c and a pressurizing part spring 162 c for providing an elastic force for the pressurizing part body 161 c.

According to the fourth embodiment of the present invention, on the other hand, the pressurizing part 160 c is disposed inside the first body 110 c, but it is not limited thereto. That is, the pressurizing part 160 c may be disposed on the second body 120 b.

Next, an explanation on operating processes of the detachable toy 100 c according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention will be given.

The detachable toy 100 c in the first form where the first body 110 a and the second body 120 are coupled to each other moves to top of the item 200 by a user.

If a magnetic force is generated by the magnetic field between the detachable toy 100 a and the item 200, displacement in position of the latch part 150 c occurs by means of the magnetic force.

According to the displacement in position of the latch part 150 c, the locking part 140 c coupled to the latch part 150 c moves downwardly to allow the locking state onto the hooks 123 b of the second body 120 b to be released.

If the second body 120 b is released, the flaps 122 are developedly open around the rotary shafts 122 b by means of the elastic forces of the second body springs, so that the detachable toy 100 c transforms from the first form into a second form.

On the other hand, if the locking part 140 c is released to open top of the first body 110 c, the pressurizing part 160 c pressurizes or hits the auxiliary toy 300 by means of the elastic force of the pressurizing part spring 162 c to launch the auxiliary toy 300.

If the auxiliary toy 300 is separated from the first body 110 c, it crashes into an arbitrary object or floor, and through the impact caused by the crash, it transforms into a second form from a first form through the same developing operation as the detachable toy according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

If a given condition is provided to detach the portion of the body from the body, therefore, the body and the detached portion of the body transform from the first form into the second form, thereby greatly improving children's interest in playing with the detachable toy.
